Princeton University Simon Levin is looking at the relationship between macroscopic patterns in ecological and economic systems and microscopic mechanisms that operate primarily at the level of individuals on contemporary and evolutionary time scales. Mathematically, he is also working on the development of macroscopic descriptions for the collective behavior of large and heterogeneous ensembles, which are subject to continual evolutionary modification. Most recently, he has been working at the interface between ecology and economics
